Clinical Trial Summary

This is a substudy of the Generation-100 study (NCT01666340). Self reported physical activity versus objectively measured physical activity and its correlation to maximal oxygen uptake in an elderly Norwegian population (observational study).

Description:

Data is collected using activity monitors. This data then compared to self reported physical activity obtained through questionnaires. Questionnaires are based on recall. Overall physical activity will then be correlated to maximal oxygen uptake to see whether people with high activity also have high maximal oxygen uptake.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	total daily energy expenditure	Measured through triaxial accelerometer.	Baseline	No
Other	activity energy expenditure	Measured using triaxial accelerometer	baseline	No
Other	sedentary time	Measured using triaxial accelerometer	baseline	No
Primary	Correlation between maximal oxygen uptake and activity level	maximal oxygen uptake measured using Metamax on a Treadmill. Activity level assessed using triaxial activity monitors.	baseline	No
Secondary	Difference between self reported recall physical activity and activity monitor measured physical activity	self reported Physical Activity is assessed by having participants fill out a questionnaire (developed by HUNT) outlining their Physical Activity (through recall).; Physical activity is objectively measured using triaxial accelerometers.	Baseline	No
